Not really sure. Just went on a horror run. Exactly the same squad that was league runners up, CL Semi Finalists, FA Cup winners and League Cup runners up. Plus Wilshere's been fully abavailable. RVP getting injured the only excuse.

Anyway, have since gone on a good run and am up to 7th. 6 points off 4th. Having beaten Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Tottenham (the top 4)

I find that you just need to recruit about 4-5 new decent ones every year. Some will inevitably fail to live up to their potential, but if you can do that you can get a decent conveyor belt of talent going, especially if you have all your facilities upgraded to the max etc...

Just send a load of scouts over to monitor Argentina and Brazil imo, there are inevitably 3-4 insanely good players that appear every year.

Kind of ruins it for me when you start to get regens, some of them are just stupidly good,

It kind of ruins it for me as well, as I find it hard to immerse myself in a world which increasingly begins to lack any connection with reality. But at the same time, it's sometimes enjoyable and rewarding to bring through some of your own young lads, rather than relying on real players who you already know will turn out to be good.
